Here's a boy who is a full-time-single-parent; grew up in Vermont and would still be there other than the distinct lack of Videogame Industry to make a living in, up 'they-yaa'--thus living in SoVerySoCal.

Overall, the daily act of writing this diary is designed to be a textual sorbet for DatSauceGuy. It is something to cleanse his writer’s palate while he wholeheartedly enjoys the craziness of working, parenting, and dealing with more paced and regularly-voiced wordage during the writing of his first fictional book.

Beyond that, it might just be great fun for this guy's son to read in about fifteen years.

Whatever the rationale, there is something so freaking absolute about being the ONLY parent to a wonderful little boy. Other things come and go...but this particular small carry-on-bit-O'-baggage/pre-existing condition is something that you OWN and it Ownz Your Ass As Well...

comments: This woman's Humor-Despite-Her-HumanHood is rockful...she is a joy: "I was 15. The headwaitress was a former madam of a local bordello and was 150 years old, at least. She had a penchant for mooning the cook when she got mad at him."

comments: I SO want to KNOW this woman. Her words are art. She reads /. And she talks of being an anonymous cowardette. She finds music through videogames. She finds solace in animation. I find solace in her existence, and I want to tell her, “I understand, Kiddo,”

comments: Because this shit's important. Bill Of Rights? Privacy? Church and State=Secular Government. Yeah. That. Get on with your franchise or at least poke fun at the Current Ass_ministration if you are Not US. Grin.

comments: "He said that with a straight face because if he has learned nothing else, the spousal unit has learned that humouring his church and state sanctioned source of marital duties Is A Good Thing. "

comments: As a boy I grew up with flying squirrels everywhere in Southern Vermont. I love squirrels, especially those guys who can go 200 yards on a good day and the right wind conditions. I like this one even more. Why? It's all in the flavor of her text.

comments: Feeling a strange and unusual kinship here. She claims to be a dolt, even though I am. And she notes that she wants to spell this chunk of un-reality DAIRYLAND. I have just broken a rule and fave'd her without YET completing a year of her diary.

comments: This woman juggles the universe. She's a mom to two young boys. She works full-time (often nights.) She's as much a music fan as I am, and equally tome-entranced. And her content relating to the Joys of GivingAndReceivingJoy is pretty swell, and

comments: Been planning on reading her diary since she gave me hell for being stupid enough not to include a link with my Notify. Now that I have done so, I can recommend her. Honest, Forthright, and mentions Strip Uno and Jenga--Which I had never pondered!?

comments: I have avoided the prospect of doing the me-three with a few thousand other folks who list this guy as a fave. A bit on recipes just threw my ass over. Fuck you. I cook, OK? A snip? "stunk the house up like an camel's ass."

comments: She's fun, and she has a purpose... She's a Defender of Truth, Justice And Internet Prawns or Porn--Depending... And she fed her English Speaking Viewer the X-Files in Spanish for 15 minutes. That is a bit of engineering hilarity!

comments: This male-human, classic-gamer, with a major sense of the absurd continually rocks my upstairs closet Of All Things Fun And Funny. Get Pac'ing, & read the Probable Loser Bitch Who Couldn't Play An FPS If He Were Wired In....[throwdown complete.}

comments: Finally got caught up in his journal. Kinda Cool as he is sometimes poetic and dark and kinda emo for a boy (feel wise, not content really...) A very different voice. And Another Thinking D-Land Male. Take that Dames!

comments: Maybe because I am waiting for the romance portion to equal clicks. But, as a future player in Truth/Dare? Why is no one reading the diary of the recipient and daring them to do something fair-but-wicked in their current world and write about it?
